Where to spot
Widespread across Sub-Saharan Africa. It inhabits moist grasslands, often with scattered bushes, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for its larger size and listen for its diagnostic, often rattling or buzzing song, which can be delivered from a prominent perch or in a display flight.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most active and vocal during the rainy season, when breeding activity is at its peak.
Its name refers to its larger and more substantial build compared to many other smaller cisticola species, making it one of the more imposing members of the genus.
